1.4 KiB

Implement in next version:

  • Shunt resistor to measure current draw of coral or of the whole board.

  • Use the same gpiopin for fancontrol as the dev-board

  • Better label output pins.

  • Make connectors asymetrical for good connections.

  • All pins that eventually are needed should be exposed somehow (testpoint or connector)

  • Add LED's to GPIO pins to know their state

  • Add switches or jumpers to power only certain parts of the board

  • Connect Enable pins of Ic's to pin headers or gpios of the processor. In case it is needed it can be used. E.g power supply of SARA chip

  • Add via or tp for everything you eventually want to measure.

  • Place testpoint on vcc on last cap before entering ic.

  • Add gpio level shifter

  • Swap rx tx sara

  • If v0.2 is still mainly for debugging: add buttons for reset and pwr pins: as in this open source project

  • Implement HDMI in first version to be able to debug: Is it even booting up?

  • Make pin connectors for all essential pins: Boot pins, boot configure pins, reset pins, etc: Like this you have the possibility to measure the signal and overwrite it if necessary.

  • First version should just be the coral connectors + power and all necessary things to boot. All other accessories

  • Ask google before starting development what is the absolute minimum bare bones for a working base-board.
